It is pretty annoying developing exclusively for Linux and running not Linux. I always end up running a VM and it feels clunky. I guess Mac has shiny apps like PowerPoint that I should be focusing my time on..
Getting a lot of ML tools running is much easier on Linux. But I run dual boot on a desktop for that stuff anyways. I'd still buy one though
Anything comparable in another manufacturer?
I couldn't find one a year ago, although razer said they wanted to start supporting Ubuntu.
System76 makes Linux machines only
What's the advantage of using a Linux Laptop vs windows or osx? If you're a gamer, there are no games out there for Linux. If you're a developer you can always install a Linux VM. Connectivity/Compatibility? You just can't beat windows and osx. I really like the idea of owning a really cool Linux machine, I just can't justify it. Anything else to consider?
Productivity wise not much, I can be productive in both OSX and Linux. You can customize the shit out of Linux tho
